| A tade more briteness - Jolida 302b. Tubes? I would change the input tubes with mullards or others. They make a big difference to the stock tubes. Or look into an ASL aq1001DT - it is a tube integrated that sounds like a tube and SS - which will brighten things up. At least it has solid hig... | |
| Gon bonkers with def tech...help.. The steak will cost you many thousands more, do you not like the sound? The audio dealer probably is pushing that line of speaker. If you can find a dealer that picks what they like to sell, you'll have a better shot at getting something that is a... | |
| Billboard's awards .....yikes That's been the case for awhile now - it just seems to get worse each year. There are talented composers out there - they just won't make the top 40 because more teenagers buy music than anyone. Culture doesn't have much value at this point in tim... | |
| Another sign SACD is dying I agree with TVAD - bad rock, etc. recordings are problems in redbook and vinyl too. Before SACD was a thought, I had a hard time finding recording of rock that were well done. There's lots of it out there, but the percentage of quality recordings... | |
| Decent reciever on a budget? I would look at Rotel and Arcam - both good values and have a range of products that you can choose how much to spend. I started out with Rotel, and looking back would probably do it again except that I'm a tube guy now. For tubes look at Antique ... | |
| What should be on my short list... I would look into the Denon APL modded (with tubes). It's a universal player (SACD - DVD-A), but my dealer says it's up with the best redbook he's ever heard - never mind the SACD, DVD-A capabilities. | |
| Best $300 or less Tube Headphone Amp ASL MGhead. I use it with my senn hd600, and it has good synergy. Also, the high gain grado RA-1 actually has a little more detail but you lose some of the tube qualities. | |
| What would u like on sacd? Kennyt - you should get a TT - I have most of Tori's albums and they sound great! | |
| Don't let this happen to you It pays to be sheep and follow people in certain situations. I'm usually not a follower, but when it comes to applauding, I always wait for everyone else just in case I missed something. albertporter - lol | |
| VR4SR I agree with drseid. (especially with 24 wpc SET) The DB99 would be much better and sounds fantastic. | |
| Dynavector 10x5 or Sumiko Blue Point Special? 3rd on the Dyna | |
| Jolida 302B/502B? The Jolida 302/502 are great values. I chose to go with the ASL AQ1001DT. I liked it better than the Jolida. But it's just a preference. Jolida's make great integrated's. The JD100 is a no brainer and will synergize with a tube amp/pre/or integrat... | |
| What does 'Fast mean? I think Seantaylor99 has it right. The Transient response makes music "jump" rather than just kind of drag along because of the fast attach and decay. | |
| "Off" vs. "Standby" and tube life just turn in on 20-30 minutes before listening then shut it off afterwards. No sense in wasting the tube life when not listening. | |
| Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp??? All great responses. I was able to overcome room problems and tuning the JR's. Beleive me the manual and setting up the global axis nextwork to integrate with the room is a must to get what these speakers can do. I think some people don't realize ... |
